《Azurlane: Future Prosperity》Chapter 13 One Prevails, The other falls

"Onee-sama!"
The yell of Saki distracted Mirai for a moment but did not let go of her hand's preassure on the Katana.
"Saki, what is it?" Mirai asked.
Saki held her earpiece quite tightly listening to new orders. "We have a ceasefire with the germans!"
"Not surprised. Well might as well. Würden Sie für die Zwischenzeit aufgeben?" Mirai spoke quite fluent in German learning from one of their submarines she met during Rimpac.
The line in particular was what she recieved after said submarine surfaced beside her.
"Ja..." a fatigued reply came, the german ultimately fell to the floor exhausted.
"Sirens are in the area. And they're not weak." Saki just relayed the message and she followed it up by taking a look at the German Cruiser's condition.
"Wer seit ihr Leute die keine Sirenen sind?" The German questions their identities.
"Japanese." Was Mirai's only response to her question. "Are we being ordered to go there?"
"That's a negative sis. We're warned. Because one is coming right to us, leaving her own fleet."
Upon hearing the oddity of behaviour of that particular siren, Mirai tensed up. "I already know who it is."
Mirai heaved a heavy sigh knowing that person's intention. Though there is worry despite being the one to defeat Apex on multiple occassions Mirai knows she has weakened. Her senses are duller than a dense guy being hit on by a beautiful girl, it will never hit.
"Battle here would be easy but a Mirror sea is risky." Mirai is assessing her options of stages. "My dear sister, would you kindly run?" A light beaming smile appeared on Mirai's lips.
Sakae took the german and Mirai's hint and followed her suggestion. Either run or get decapitated was the message she was recieving not knowing it's run or die from Apex.
Seeing Sakae's figure (carrying a kansen) slowly shrink from the distance gave Mirai a sense of ease because then it'll only be annoying.
"That sucks, I wanted to see another head roll off before our fight starts again. Mirai." Revealing her presence Apex speaks like an old friend that haven't met in a long time. "Been a while since you took off my left arm."
"Yeah been a while, Apex."
Mirai stood to face Apex in the eye. Only 20 yards apart they stared each other down.
"My God, is that Philippine Sea?" Disbelief was Mirai's reaction to the head dangling by Apex's hips. "Took you long enough to hit the bucket huh."
"Hey now, she killed me 6 Times within the Mirror Sea! I was realy having a hard time." Apex claims that her kill was worthy.
"So your Mirror Sea still revives you huh. Then by six times it'll mean you only have 3 lives (equals to 9 in total). Heh, this'll be easy." Mirai snickers and drew her sword with her legs taking a low stance and her guard up against a forward leap.
"Easy?"
"!?"
Apex immediately got behind Mirai. Mirai who didn't expect this was quick to leap away from the area she stood before Apex's sharp claws were even drawn.
"What's this... You've gotten slower? Hehe... then all my limbs will be avenged! Hahaha." Apex's artificial nails sharpens, her eyes glowed bright red as she stood knowing her advantage.
Sweat trickled down Mirai's forhead, "Screw Limits and Ammo." Her shoulder missile cells took aim and fired a barrage of Anti-ship missiles.
Apex did not dodge or moved out of the way instead she leaped into the barrage head on, with flexibility like those of a cat she exploited each and every space available allowing her speed to dodge every single missile fired.

"Shit... none hit!?" Mirai looked at her wrist guard's computer across the screen were the missile count. Equalling only to 32 left, Mirai backed off terrified.
"When a Cat is scared they always ran away from danger. But you, you're no pussy cat." She giggled as she slowly and fashionately approach like a model in a stage. "You're a Lone WOLF. Wandering around the vast sea of the forest, alone and weak but you still lived on by fighting everything to the death. How long will it take for you to die without a pack? Maybe... TODAY. TOMMOROW. Just remember, It's sooner than you think."
Apex jumped with her hand directly aimed toward's Mirai's head. Mirai already foresaw this attack and deflected it to the sides however at that moment her sword cracked.
Thrown to the side Apex stood back up and seeing the blade she scoffed and mocked Mirai.
"What happened to your sensei's dark precious Moonlight Maiden? Don't tell me you lost it for you to use a cheap piece of metal of all things."
That ticked off Mirai, more so to mocking her Elder Sister's weapon of choice. Knowing it won't last long Mirai has one chance to remove that talkative head of Apex and it'll have to be her move.
"Between you and me, who do you think is more dark?" Apex asked out of the blue. It even stopped Mirai from lunging forth.
"Obviously me."
The Question was not to describe someones coolness but instead it was asking who was more evil between the two and Mirai answered honestly. The difference between Apex and her is that Apex never once shed the blood of her comrades and sisters. But Mirai has.
Mirai pointed the blade to the sky and the tip to Apex. Holding the hilt firmly with two hands she charged firing missiles and shells.
Missile count:
As the Missiles quickly apporached their target a wall blocked their path and without room to recalculate trajectory they hit the shield deployed by Apex.
The vibrant shield shattered by the last missile. Smoke covered the field of vision of Apex soon Mirai emerged and Apex responded to her attack.
The strong lower right swing was immediately redirected by Apex's mastery of Martial arts followed by a kick targeting Mirai's chin.
Mirai failing her attack lets go of her weapon and grabbed onto Apex's leg and using that she locked a missile in each shoulder canister and used their propellant as a rocket-pushed momentum. Ultimately she dodged the counter attack and had locked Apex in a position where her leg is kicking upwards.
through pure strength Apex struggles to keep her leg from getting bent from Mirai's rocket fueled momentum.
"That's a shock. To think you'll stoop this low!"
Apex lets go of her footing and locked Mirai's head in a leglock. Without anything to stop the missiles momentum the two flew by a wall that easily crumbled.
"Lost fuel."
The moment Mirai stopped Apex threw Mirai by using her body's momentum into a nearby window. Using that time to catch her breath, her red eyes flickers to gold indicating her lost of focus.
"C'mon Mirai wake up! I want that crazy bitch out!" Apex provokes.
Mirai stood up and changed her appearance wearing a combat Kimono with short skirts, her long hair shortener and tied by two sharp dark steel sticks. By her back transforms a Naginata spear which she took with both hands.
She pointed the end of the blade on the ground while the other end high up the sharp edge is pointed in the sky. With both hands she uses the Gedan no Kame basic Naginata stance.

"Where in the hell did you learn how to use a spear? Ah doesn't matter, the more you try the batshit insane you'll be." A huge smirk widens on Apex as she leaped to the side and using the area as momentum to charge head on for Mirai.
Like a hunter pouncing on it's victim from great heights Apex strikes Mirai however she was immediately thrown along with the Naginata Spear that Apex had grabbed onto.
Now without any weapons Mirai chose to run, without a single weapon Mirai won't win and the Naginata spear was something she only hold onto because she was asked, frankly she didn't know how to even wield it. Even if Mirai used it she'll throw it as a distraction to run.
"Ow... hey, what's wrong not talking?" Apex emerged frok ruble holding the weapon she snatched.
Apex seeing Mirai intends to actualy run was pissed off in the gesture. "You've gotten weak."
Mirai doesn't care about pride, she survived this long because she was selfish. Using the joestar secret technique she ran through the streets of the German town picking up her older sister's cracked sword.
Running through an alleyway she was stopped as Apex landed right infront of her.
"Okay, enough Running Mirai. You took all my limbs, I'm just here to return the gesture."
Mirai screwed up by going through an Alleyway because she can't use her sword much. Instead she pointed it straight to Apex while slowly backing up into an open area.
"Apex to think you had such a grudge for an easygoing personality."
Apex shrugs. "Well I'm the one at the top. Gotta have an attitude to be feared. So, sneaked up on your commanders again? Tell me what you heard and I might just let you scoff free."
Apex made that bargain with no intention of killing Mirai instead she'll stay true to her words and take all Mirai's limbs as Payback.
"Hmm." Mirai took the offer. "Alright I think the US Commander said something like. "What the hell.. why is there blood in my pencil sharperner...? JONATHAAAAN!!! DID YOU USED MY PENCIL SHARPERNER AGAIN!?" He said something like that."
"You gotta be kidding. That's what you heard?"
"Do I look like a person that lies?"
Apex covered her face with deep anguish. Because Mirai is being honest. The greatest secret conversation she wanted to know out of curiosity was merely a commander scolding his staff for using his pencil case as an onahole.
Though she thought about it more and wrote the entire incident. To keep memories, was the book she wrote it on.
"Anyway, wanna fight?"
A smile crept up on Apex's lips that quickly disapeared after noticing Mirai's absence.
Mirai ran like hell. The Joestar Family secret Technique!

""""""""""""""""""""""""
Two swords grinded between one another. A sword of a Chinese and a Japanese clashed atop the bow of a German Battleship.
A Dao Machete and a Jian sword against a Wakazashi and a Katana. Two Masters duel wielding each blade with precise and powerful movements.
Izumo who lost her sister blaming it all on Youzui and Youzui carrying the grief and Guilt of her nation fought to kill one another.
"W, warte, ihr solltet nicht kämpfen!" And a cute mature woman in snow white trying to calm things down. "Solltet ihr nicht Freunde sein?"
"This is for my sister!" A hard strike from above.
As Youzui held her Jian up to block but it was a faint as Izumo lets go of her Katana and fully utilizes her Wakazashi as a Short knife for a thrusting stab.
However it was a fruitless feignt as the Dao machete on Youzui's otherhand immediately parried it into the ground. And taking that brief second of defenslessness she leaped to Izumo's side giving her a deep long cut.
"Urgh.." Izumo held her waist that immediately spilled blood like a river applying preassure to minimize the damage.
Izumo picks up her katana once again this time no longer utilizing her Wakazashi as her other hand was focused on maintaining her fatal wound.
"You lost. End this farce immediately." Youzui demanded. She planted her Jian sword into the deck and her Dao slanted into her shoulder intimidating Izumo.
"Eeeek!!! (That wood was just replaced!)" The German battleship exclaims in deep anguish over the damage of her deck.
Izumo did not reply instead she manifested 3 Cards from her Deck. Throwing it into the air all cards burst into flames and for one card 2 F3 Naval Aircrafts conjured from the fiery mist.
The jet engines roared as they soared high into the sky equip with Anti-ship missiles the aircrafts dived and fired their payload into Youzui intending to kill her.
Youzui held up her hand and with only a Jian sword sliced through Missiles in speeds unmatched by anyother. However it was a merely another distraction as the wounded Izumk thrust her sword into Youzui's thigh gaining a reaction that made her lose focus and in that split second a missile hits Youzui's right arm completely dislocating it.
Youzui didn't scourge in pain instead she took all that damage and used her head butting it into Izumo's head. Even if she was a carrier.
"My turn whore. Dodge this!" A box of missile cells conjured by Youzui's waist.
Within a split second a barrage of 7 ground to sea missiles were fired. Followed by 2 Anti-ship missiles from seperate canisters.
Izumo can't dodge it and she knows she can't. There is a chance she can realy die in this situation. So without a second of a doubt Izumo used her flight deck as shield while her aircrafts dived to intercept the Missiles to take as little damage as possible.
However as the Jets crashed no explosions could be heard. Upon taking a peek Izumo realized she's been duped.
Because right now a Dao machete hits the top of her flight deck and had embeded itself. It was like a shield and a axe. Youzui pulls her Dao and in turn moves the flight deck a slightly bit making a small opening where Youzui thrust her sword and hearing a yelp from the otherside confirmed a hit.
"You lost. Give up!" Even with a broken arm Youzui still managed to win against Izumo. "You're no Mirai. You won't ever defeat me!"
Stupidity or Stubborness no matter, Izumo did not back down. "That's where you're Wrong! Mirai and you are merely Destroyers! I? I'm a Fucking Carrier."
Izumo jumped back 12 feet away from Youzui and summoned her entire Form. A Ship fell into the skies and destroyed a part of the battleship on where Youzui stood. Crushing her completely.
(Imagine a battleship with a large ship directly ramming it's side but the bow is above deck.)
"You know there are times when you're in the wrong and yet whole heartedly convinced that you're in the right. We call that Naivety and Stupidity."
A person strides casualy towards Izumo while proclaiming such things. The person was a Kansen with an Appearance of a warrior that Izumo knew too well.
Izumo frowns in disbelief she calls out her name. "Bakunawa." Philippine Attack Submarine Bakunawa of the Scorpene 1200 class.
"Ei... I'm still remembered by the person I looked up to! Ain't that amazing?"
"What's your real intention womanizer?"
"Woah binibini! I never had a connection with ya. Why approach like a paranoid girlfriend."
A groan was the reply Bakunawa got after diverting Izumo's question. Sensing her awkward position Bakunawa honestly answered.
"Ah well. You see I came after a schrie eine schöne Dame verzweifelt. Ich konnte nicht anders, als zu Hilfe zu kommen" such flattering broken words were tried to tug the heartstrings of the beautiful white battleship.
Bakunawa receieved an eye roll from Izumo while the beautiful white battleship backs away in slight disgust.
Seeing their reaction Bakunawa pouted with a sad expression. She looked up to Izumo and a Rigging of a submarine formed released from the torpedo tubes were a tomahawk missile directly headed for Izumo.
As the missile Flew Bakunawa ran towards the ship form of Izumo and raising her leg she relaxed her entire body collecting every energy and force to redirect it into her foot. With a kick the Carrier was slightly moved away.
The defenseless Izumo without her rigging looked into the missile as if it traveled in slow motion she won't be saved nor make it out alive specialy against a tomahawk in point blank range.
As the missile approached her face she felt a tug and her vision went black for a moment. That as soon as she reopened her eyes Izumo sees a trail of white smoke behind a beautiful blue sky.
What happened. Did I die?
Izumo was generally confused and disheartened. Thinking she was killed by the person she fought during the Western Japanese offensive of the third world war.
Though immediately her thoughts were interrupted as a familiar face comes into view.
"Izumo. What a nasty injury." It was someone that did not carry much rigging and firepower. Instead the person wore the Coast Guard ensignia over their sleeve.
"Shikishima?"
Her question was ignored by said ship. Because a sedative was injected within her systems completely puting her into sleep.
Back to Bakunawa. She leaned over the punctured hole with the white battleship curiously looking for the crushed person too.
"Have you seen the girl yet, Tirpitz?"
"Nein...."
Bakunawa sighs and placed a finger directly into her eyes. With that she formed her rigging and diving suit "Be right back."
She then jumped to the ocean.
